This will be 'KingRY's' first fight, post-suspension. However, as per Ring Magazine, the comeback bout will be a warm-up match against an undisclosed opponent and not Devin Haney.
Haney is also expected to face another opponent, and if both the combatants win their respective warmup boxing matches, they will face off in a rematch in Saudi Arabia, in October.
Meanwhile, Lopez commented on the aforementioned post and wrote:
"Let the games begin! 🤝 @Turki_alalshikh."

Ryan Garcia believes he does not "take weak fights ever"
Ryan Garcia has not ruled out a potential rematch with Devin Haney. In 2024, the two combatants locked horns and Garcia dropped his opponent three times. Despite winning the fight, the decision was later overturned after 'KingRY' failed drug tests. As a result, Haney retained his championship.
Garcia recently claimed on X that he doesn’t take weak fights. While addressing his future, he stated:
"I can’t wait for you guys to see who I’m fighting 👀👀 One thing you can’t say about me is I take weak fights ever Only one really doing it."
